After the Airing of Grievances come the Feats of Strength. Come on Zach, man up and eat the sandwich. I agree with another poster that it might be nice for people to know that there are alternatives when short on time/cash.

If you can’t stomach the thought of Walgreens, I have a new drugstore sandwich challenge for you. Go to the Duane Reade at 8th and 34th, the freestanding Duane Reade outside of Penn. There, you will find a delightful array of prepackaged sandwiches, salads, about 7 different types of jerky, massive variety of chips and even beer. The “Columbia Terror” and I did a test run the other day and it seemed like an eater’s paradise to us.

I’m with you Zach. Don’t bother with this stuff; I’m interested in hearing about food that might be obscure or hard to find, not food that’s as lazy and shoddily prepared as Walgreen’s “sandwiches.”

The only thing I see wrong with the triangular sandwiches is that they are not inside vending machines (the kind with the rotating carousels), thereby eliminating the need for any human interaction in obtaining one.

Forget the sandwich—is it me or is there a stangely high number of people on this blog with poo-eating stories?

wait wait– people don’t call it a bulkie roll elsewhere? This is like when I learned you could only get brown bread in a can in New England. I am *shocked*

Dubya El gets two points for mentioning Princess Bride.

Like I said before, my wife was willing to eat dog feces for the sake of her perfoming career. I am told Jane Stern might, too, in certain circumstances.

It seems like the least you can do to eat that “burger” from Walgreens.

Man Up, Zach.

Zach, LOL!

Maybe you and Wallace Shawn can star in a sequel to My Dinner with Andre, aka My Midtown Lunch with Zach, where you can debate the nature of a midtown lunch and whether a bulkie is just a kaiser roll without the seeds.

@Dubya – I wonder if Wallace Shawn was talking about the sicilian sub from Walgreens
